People don't know what they want or what they will like. When innovative companies like Google, Microsoft or Apple bring something out, and it becomes a hit, then people think that they could not have lived without it.

I think along the line of what Griff was getting at - except I would like the ability to control the colours on screen outside of the application.
So, say I have an editor that does not have the option to present a black background - I could still get the black background.
I don't know how the mechanics of this would be accomplished but it would allow me to control the colour themes rather than the applications limiting what I can have.

using a package and writing some powershell to do some automagic things. Wasn't behaving how I thought it should. So I emailed support to ask. This is the response I got.
Another thing I'd like to mention, is that the following {switch} combination: "-O -P Skip" usually doesn't give the results users would expect.
Well no duh. So don't use them huh. <grin>

1) Prefer one long article
2) The article broken apart into logical parts
3) Don't care as long as it has links to the other parts
4) Don't care, won't read anyways
Nothing to do with JSOP's post, it's something I've been mulling over as I have an article that in Word (and there's only 5 or so screenshots) is over 120 pages.
The topic is a C# implementation of Kademlia.

Break the sucker up: or it'll get hammered by the TL;DR brigade.
It does need to be in relatively "bite sized" chunks - that's why books have chapters - and it's always nice to have the relevant logical parts together rather than having to hunt and hope you didn't miss anything important.

Well, that'll increase my article count. 
It'll be interesting doing that, as currently I have in each section things like "discussion", "implementation", and "unit tests" for each functional component. That might make for a logical break. There's also a GUI demo, which makes sense to keep separate.
Thanks for the feedback!

I concur with you, with a few caveats:
- All of the pieces are published within a short period of time.
- The author(s) has had other proofread the entire series, as a whole. The tone, tense, voice, word use, and style should be consistent for the entire series. This is especially important for authors who, like most engineers, did not pay attention during their English Comp. courses. (Many people I've worked with cannot write a decent, error-free one-page memo. English is their primary and, often, only language, yet I shudder to think of them writing a five-to-ten page paper!)
- They include a table of contents (and maybe an index)
- Figures, charts and other inclusions are labeled and numbered.
- The author takes care to define acronyms and unusual technical terms upon first use. We all know what delegates are, what MVVM and FPGA stand for, and how to implement a decision table via linkage editor, right?
- The author(s) cite their source material. If they say they adapted Erin Katzenjammer's technique, please tell us where we can find Katzenjammer's article on the subject. A good hot link is enough. (See The Katzenjammer Kids[^].)
Maybe, I am asking for too much....  We are talking about engineers and programmers, after all...

I run my articles through MS Word now. That catches most of the outright incorrect spellings, but misses the words that are spelled correctly, yet are the wrong word, or incomplete give the sentence structure. It's not perfect, but it catches a lot of crap.
I edit the article in a HTML file in Visual Studio, and then copy/paste that into MS Word, fix the glaring problems, and then paste it back into the HTML file.

I do all parts of a multi-part article at the same time. This keeps me from procrastinating on finishing subsequent parts.
